    Darna Mixed Appetizer - Most loved by our guests
    Joey B.

    Service, ambiance, and food are FANTASTIC! Great place for family! Lamb Ouzi was wonderful- say wallahi bro and don't get a shawarma here, I just recommend getting something nicer because there are so many places nearby to get shawarma- this place offers MORE! My wife loves the babganoush and tabbouleh here! Very classy humble family friendly Palestinian/Syrian vibes type of place! Go down the road 1 block and Bakdesh is the most wonderful ice cream and dessert restaurant! Bismillah! We love it

    I saw this place on IG and knew I had to give it a try. The restaurant is bright, and they make good use of the space. The service, admittedly, is a tad slow, but it didn't take away from the meal at all. If you don't know where to start, I highly recommend the Darna Mixed Appetizer. It came with so much, we were stuffed. Tasty grape leaves. Multiple dips that were all wonderful. The best tabbouleh I have ever had. Kibbe that is out of this world. Their lentil soup is absolutely amazing too! I had so many appetizers, I had no room for a meal. This place has easily taken over as my favorite restaurant in the area!

    Such a wonderful place! This is definitely not your typical casual Tampa restaurant. The décor and ambiance are absolutely beautiful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The service was exceptional, and Ghizlane made our experience truly memorable with her attentiveness and hospitality. The food was outstanding--delicious, flavorful, and tasted like authentic home cooking at its finest. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a beautiful dining atmosphere! ::: For a Google review, I'd rate this a strong 5-star review.

    Great spot in temple terrace for a family gathering. Ordered hummus muhammara and the mix grill for 6. Great food and decent service overall. Would enjoy coming back and trying other places

    Pita and pickles /dip that comes with every meal! The pita was so good!

    There is a great ambiance and light to this restaurant. You feel the pride they have in their food and service is great! The baba ganough and hummus were delicious. The kids meal of fries and chicken strips was huge and the kids were happy! I ordered the half chicken with salad and fries- the chicken was really flavorful! The salad needed a little more acidity but also good. My husband ordered the mendi and didn't love it ~ but said it was good just that he's enjoyed it more elsewhere and would try something else next time. All in all a great new addition!

    Mansaf. With a bed of dreamy rice.
    Andrea S.

    This place was so good, my boyfriend and I loved it! I got the special of the day (mansaf) and it was absolutely incredible that it made me go out and buy spices just to recreate it at home one day. The lamb literally fell off the bone. And the rice was creamy and dreamy. My boyfriend got chicken shawarma and said it was fantastic. We came in on a busy Saturday night around 8pm and we were greeted right away. The service was fast and our server was so sweet taking our order and giving us recommendations. I can't wait to come back and bring my family here. Also the artwork on the wall was beautiful.

    Mixed grill

    It was our fist time visiting darna. It was the best middle eastern food I have eaten in tampa. The chicken was soft and the meat has well. The season was on point. The rice so well seasoned. I will definitely be coming back

    A little bit of everything on the food line! Have to go back to try everything!

Sometimes I get salad instead of fries, but today was that kind of day. The falafel is fresh perfectly fried extremely tasty. The hummus is their usual high-quality homemade version. Lamberger came out piping hot, juicy on a fresh bun and the fries are delicious. I also ordered an unsweetened iced tea and that came out just fine exactly the way I like it ice cold. Even though I sat outside and it's a bit noisy here and a bit hot. I really don't care because I do love this place. If something goes wrong here, make sure to tell them right away and they'll fix it. They're very good.

I'd hate to go against the many great reviews, but I wasn't impressed with the Turkish dishes. Firstly the name is deceiving. It should be called "Tazza Turkish, Mediterranean, Greek, Italian and other international food". And yes, I know I should've picked up on that bit of knowledge from viewing the menu - I get it. On the food - the hummus and tzatziki apps were good , except the pita bread were just reheated pitas found at the local Publix. The coconut shrimps were not coconut. The mixed grill was ok. Lastly the kunefe was eh.. The Turkish coffee was good. Overall not impressed with the Turkish food. It wasn't terrible just not as authentic as I expected. And quite overpriced

Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. In the spirit of expanding our culinary pallet, we ordered two apps that were new to us. The Kebbeh was very good - i'd say similar to a meat hush puppy? Krispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. The Baba Ganju was different than what I was expecting and not something I personally liked (not any fault to the dish, I'm just a texture person). The chicken shawarma and gyro platter (it's a platter at dinner) were FANTASTIC! Seriously, so much flavor, fresh, the meat was not overly cooked. Everything tasted very fresh and we seriously had no complaints!! We also ordered a side of Batata, which are sort of crispy potato cubes with chili flakes + garlic - so good! I will say when we got there, there was a mishap and we waited over 20 minutes to be greeted and introduced to our server after we sat down. Once our server realized we were in her section, the rest of our service was amazing! I think that was just a one off fluke, and I would not let it negatively impact my experience.

We ordered the mixed appetizer and the famous lavas bread. To our surprise we got a flat, deflated pita bread instead. Lavas bread is a signature dish of Bosphorous so I called the waitress and asked why the lavas bread was deflated. Answer: must have a hole. The manager came around so I told him the same and added that I had chosen this place for my birthday and was looking forward to the round and puffy lavas bread but got a pita bread. His answer: some time that happens. Sorry but for a restaurant of this level, they shouldn't let their signature appetizer leave the kitchen if it isn't perfect. End of story. And at least the manager should have cared but didn't. Otherwise, my husband and I shared a mixed grill, my mom had a shrimp dish she liked and they did bring me a dessert with a candle which was nice. If I go back to Bosphorous it won't be this location. Parking was Ok but it was also Wednesday.

My husband and I tried the Tangines since I had never had one and it is one of their specialties. Oh My! They were both fabulous. Tangine is a Moroccan style of roasting meat, vegetables and even bits of fruit in a inverted funnel-shaped pot with a unique blend of Mediterranean spices. I had the steak and my husband had the lamb. They use only organic and heirloom vegetables and make all their recipes authentically from scratch. You can tell when you taste it. It was fun to taste each morsel. There were peppers, carrots, mushroom, green olives, Greek olives, walnuts, tomatoes, feta cheese and tiny bits of mango all on a luscious curry and greek/Mediterranean sauce over orzo pasta. There is also other intriguing things to try on their standard menu as well as Greek favorites, appetizers such as saganaki and vegetarian options. (Wish I had taken a photo of the menu. I definitely can't wait to go back) The hostess also mentioned they offer cooking classes which I want to try as well. Dessert offered was homemade Gelato. Salted caramel and coconut (as well as homemade vanilla) were excellent. I bet they rotate those flavors from time to time. Comfy seating. Pleasant atmosphere. Authentically made food. I hope they succeed as I think everyone should give them a try. Hours are currently limited to 3 days on weekend. I do wish they would consider more...like maybe a mini "lunch" menu with gyro sandwiches and maybe Greek soups through the week?! (Not offered/just a suggestion!)

It's more like a cafe than an actual restaurant. You enter, then order at a cash register, and then proceed down a buffet line to pick up what you ordered. Drinks are at the end. Then you find a small table inside or outside. Prices are very reasonable but the selection is quite limited. When I was there in March 2026 there was a chicken wrap, a lamb wrap, and a falafel. I got the chicken wrap which come sin a flatbread because I make a good falafel at home and I am not a big lamb fan. The wrap was ok, maybe a bit small for $6.25. The chicken tasted like smoked chicken you could get at a BBQ restaurant. The wrap had some cucumbers and tomatoes, and some kind of tadziki sauce or something. It was not bad, just not the "wow" that I hoped for. If I returned, I probably would try either the falafel and talk the wife into getting the lamb so I could have a bite.
